10. JOH: PEACH, Arm.

This year Perkin VVarbeck landed at Sandwich in this County, with a power of all Na∣tions, contemptible not in their number or courage, but nature and fortune, to be feared, as well of Friends as Enemies, as fitter to spoil a coast, than recover a country. Sheriff Peach (knighted this year for his good service) with the Kentish Gentry, acquitted them∣selves so valiant and vigilant, that Perkin sh•…•…unk his horns back again into the shell of his ships. About 150. of his men being taken, and brought up by this * 1.1 Sheriff to Lon∣don, some were executed there, the rest on the Sea Coasts of Kent, and the neighbou∣ring Counties, for Sea-marks to teach Perkin's people to avoid such dangerous shoars.
